Yesterday, I left Virginia and drove to North Carolina on the spur of the moment. This has interrupted both home building duties and game writing activities, but I did have time to copy my
Slayers and
Burning Heroes files to a flash drive and have since loaded them into my "road" laptop. I should be getting some
Slayers work done off and on over the next week or so, but then I must leave again, for New York at the beginning of February.
For those familiar with my personal situation in North Carolina, I can add that everything is under control now that I am here and will remain that way for as long as I stay. Soon, I expect to place one and maybe even both of my North Carolina homes on the market. That will use up a bit more of my game time for a while. I just wanted everyone to know why I've been forced to slow down my writing pace. Too many distractions at the moment.
But the New York trip will be a festive occasion for the family and has been planned since last spring. Younger son, Tommy, now a grad student attending Yale, won the Mannes Conservatory concerto competition in 2009 - first place - and will perform at the Lincoln Center on February 4, playing Vivaldi's Bassoon Concerto in E-flat Minor with the full Mannes Orchestra at Alice Tully Hall. For those who enjoy classical music, here is a decent-if-not-quite-perfect recording he made with the Chelsea Symphony in NYC about a year ago, performing the bassoon solo in Weber's Hungarian Andante and Rondo.
